Author Topic: Source For Xenon Bulb Handling Safety Equipment? Randy Loy Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 Registered: Aug 1999 posted 07-10-2002 09:12 AM                     I recently acquired a xenon lamphouse for the projector I am rebuilding for use in my home screening room. Since I now have a xenon lamp at home, I want to buy a face shield, gloves, and chest/arm protection. I've not had any luck finding this stuff through the on-line catelogs of the several cinema supply companies I've checked. Am I looking in the wrong place?  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-10-2002 09:18 AM                    Well, you could probably find the face shields at a hardware store. The gloves and arm and chest protection at a welding supply store.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-10-2002 09:42 AM                        Try suppliers listed in "Industrial Hygiene" magazine: http://www.rimbach.com/home/ihnpage/IHN.HTM http://www.rimbach.com/home/ihnpage/market/market.htm ------------------ John P.

Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 07-10-2002 06:40 PM                     Scott and I were thinking the same thing. Personal Protection Equipment at Grainger.com As for gloves, I just wear jersey-fabric garden gloves. They keep the inadvertent handprint off of the quartz, but are probably worthless in a bulb explosion. I also prefer a leather jacket with sleeves as opposed to an apron.  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 07-10-2002 11:05 PM                     For gloves, we just use a pair of welding gloves that you can get off the shelf at someplace like Menards or Home Depot.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.
